I found the hotel to be characterful, located conveniently close to the train station. The attention to safety was evident, providing great peace of mind. The room was beautifully decorated. The large bathroom included both a proper bath and a separate spacious shower cubicle, a real treat!

Check-in took place in the pub during a busy period, I went up an external fire escape to enter with my bags, but the code didn't work on the first try.
